If you mean internet site passwords:

- passwords saved in cookies are deleted if you clean cookies without protecting them using 'Cookies to save'.

- passwords saved in IE Autocomplete Form History, Firefox Saved Form Information, etc. are deleted if selected for cleaning.

I'm glad I came over! I just came back from saving my cookies for the sites I wanted to not have to use a password for. I don't know if it's going to work yet, as I just did it.

But the process was very easy and I'm extremly hopeful my computer will be back to normal again, yoohoo!!!
